How to Generate Certificate Signing Request on Zimbra
This article will go into detail on how to generate certificate signing request on Zimbra.
- Log in as root.
- Adjust the following command to match your information: /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr createcsr comm -new "/C=US/ST=NJ/L=Clifton/O=Company Inc/OU=Department/CN=your.domain.com" Where:
C = 2-digit country code
ST = State/Province
L = City
O = Organization Name
OU = Department (e.g., IT Department)
CN = Common Name (mail.domain.com, *.domain.com)
If you want to include more than one name in the CSR, you can add -subjectAltNames to the end of the command. Example:
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr createcsr comm -new "/C=US/ST=NJ/L=Clifton/O=Company Inc/OU=Department/CN=your.domain.com" -subjectAltNames "www.domain.com, secure.domain.com"
- Running this command will output the CSR to the following location: /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/xyz/xyz.csr
- You will use the CSR to place the order for the certificate (select "Other" as the server software when placing your order).
